i suspect that's largely why the malaysian crowd never fail to yell their support for the Danes. coz if the Danes won, they can expect lots of freebies thrown to them in appreciation. :P

The actual story is that, the Danes don't get this kind of support in Europe. When they came to play in Malaysia or Indonesia, they tend to appreciate the kind of encouragement given by the crowd, as long as they are not playing local players, that is.

So in appreciation of such support, they give freebies to the crowd - soaking wet shirt, towel, racquet, whatever they could spare. The effect of which makes the crowd more willing to support them again in future tournaments.

Also, and what is important from the standpoint of the game, they know how to bring the crowd alive (as if the crowd in MAS and INA isn't alive enough! ) and fill the place with energy and good vibes. Showing genuine emotion; including the crowd in the celebration; thanking the crowd without reservation. It's the stuff that improves ratings.

sure, i understand the Danes point of view. but hearing the malaysian supporters' screams for the Danes racquets and shirts firsthand, gave me a fresh perspective of the undying support they have for the Danes, even when they play against other Asian players. all in good fun, of course.
